I have a reptisun t5 10.0 with a reflector inside my enclosure, how far away from the light should the basking platform be? I have seen 9-18" but I'd like a second opinion, thanks.

If it's inside the enclosure, I'd set it about 12'' above the basking surface for best results. This is my latest test with that bulb for reference. You want the basking area to be within about 3-5 UVI. There should be a gradient down to low levels of UVB (shade) in other areas of the enclosure.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
